Hey, H.B.S. We're here with Heaving Busam's Ask A Bad-ass, where we interview romance lovers about anything under the sun, but mostly, you know, romance.

I hope you join Aaron and I on Monday, February 17th for part one of The Bollywood Bride by

Sonale Dev.

It's an absolutely beautifully written second chance romance, but it does come with a whole

puzzle of content warnings. Be careful if sexual assault, child abuse, severe

mental health crises, mental health shaming,

and gritty depictions of depression

are triggering for you.

It's a very beautiful,

but it's a big angst as well. And now we've got Caitlin K. This lifelong Girl Scout is a lover of

logistics and audio books, a New York bagel devotee, a destroyer of reading goals, and the baddest of asses.

Here we go. Natalie, how's everything going with you today?

Oh my gosh, it's going well.

This is gonna be, I haven't had an interview in like a week,

so it's nice to kind of chat with you and say hello. How are you? It's been a pretty busy week couple of weeks

but today was not quite as busy so it's been a nice little change from my normal chaos of everyday craziness

Listeners if you are out there. I am with Caitlin K

Caitlin you are a fairly active HB in the geriatric friendship cult you've

been listening for how long have you been listening to heaving bosoms maybe a little more than six months or so I'm not the greatest of math right off the top of my head

I understand but I yeah I started listening when my commute became an hour in each direction and that was about

May or June of last year. So actually it's been like that's closer to nine months.

Yeah, absolutely.
